And it\u2019s time for office design to follow suit.<\/p>\n<p>As office leases come up for renewal, smarter organisations are future-proofing their offices with a few simple tricks to create dynamic workspaces that boost productivity, enhance inclusivity and promote a work\/life balance even when you\u2019re in the office.<\/p>\n<h3>Creating spaces for now that can provide for tomorrow<\/h3>\n<p>The workspace needs to be agile \u2013 it needs to evolve to deliver what\u2019s required. Modular walls and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/home-and-kitchen\/internal-sliding-door-systems\">internal sliding door systems<\/a> can give you the flexibility to define spaces to create collaborative hubs, quiet zones and private spaces. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/home-and-kitchen\/shelving-and-room-partition-systems\">modular shelving<\/a> can be a great way to partition rooms if you\u2019re more limited on space.<\/p>\n<h3>Create an office that looks high-tech (even if it\u2019s not)<\/h3>\n<p>Creating a thoroughly modern impression is important for any spaces likely to be client-facing. No one wants to work with or for a company that hasn\u2019t seen a lick of paint since the 80\u2019s, but a lick of paint isn\u2019t really enough. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/power-and-connectivity\/pop-up-sockets-for-desks-and-worktops\">Pop up sockets<\/a> and discrete cable trunking, combined with sharp and striking aesthetics are essential to get the modern \u2018look\u2019 in the wireless age.<\/p>\n<h3>Make space for work to happen<\/h3>\n<p>Many businesses are now creating spaces that offer occasional working areas or hot desking for those who aren\u2019t in the office all the time while keeping real estate available for those regular faces. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/products\/10886\/under-desk-ergonomic-mouse-pad-with-pen-storage?catid=4219\">Under-desk drawers<\/a>, pop up sockets and efficient <a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/office-accessories-and-cable-management-solutions\/cable-management-for-workspaces\/under-desk-cable-trays-and-wire-baskets\">cable trunking<\/a> are really important to keep these spaces clean and clear of clutter, but also to make it easy to clean and well-equipped for those who don\u2019t regularly work in the office.<\/p>\n<h3>Build IRL (In real life) to work in the virtual world<\/h3>\n<p>Digital meeting rooms are also super important. For these areas<a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/products\/372\/3200-x-1200mm-xa2-6-leg-meeting-table-frame-chrome?catid=4246\">, the desk<\/a> should take centre stage, setting the tone for the room. For the best impression, go for the largest table you can fit comfortably in the room. \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.box15.co.uk\/office-accessories-and-cable-management-solutions\/office-desk-monitor-arms\/tv-lifts-and-tv-mounts\">Monitor lifts<\/a> can help to create a really modern feel as you kit out your meeting room with the best technology so your video callers and conferences can enjoy crystal clear sound and uninterrupted viewing.<\/p>\n<p>For more information on any of the Box 15 products discussed in this blog, contact our team using our online chat at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.box15.co.uk.\">www.box15.co.uk.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest thinking in developing agile office spaces Hybrid working is the thing \u2013 it\u2019s now more unusual to find a job with no hybrid working involved than it is to find one with hybrid working or even 100% home working.
